Production of ³⁸Cl and ^34mCl via the (d, α) reaction on natural argon and ³⁶Ar reveal medical cyclotrons’ ability to supply these isotopes in small quantities. ³⁸Cl provides an inexpensive developmental tool, while ^34mCl is a positron emitter of interest in PET imaging. Production yields, cyclotron target development, cryo-recovery of enriched gases, and nucleophilic chemistry of a model compound are described.
